Error Log and GMAT Score Predictor

Question

Can someone throw some light on the interpretation of error log. I am attempting approx 30 Question daily, with overall accuracy of 67% (last 14 days). I distribute question as 1:2:2 for difficulty levels of 600/600-700/700+ respectively. My difficulty level accuracy is 600- 85%, 600-700- 77%, 700+ 60%, but my predicted score is 560.

1.) Is this predictor correct in predicting the scores? , what's the variation range?

2.) With such accuracy, what score can we expect in real GMAT exam?

Hi Vakru,

The best way to determine your baseline score is to take an official practice exam. Have you taken one?

Hi Vakru,

Many Test Takers become too fixated on the 'implied level' of the questions that they're working on - instead of what really matters: defining WHY they're getting questions wrong and becoming more efficient at approaching the overall Exam. It's also worth noting that just because a 3rd party describes a question as "700 level" does not necessarily make it so.
There's really only one way to properly assess your skills (and how you might Score on the Official GMAT): take a FULL-LENGTH CAT and do so in a realistic fashion (take the FULL CAT - with the Essay and IR sections, take it away from your home, at the same time of day as when you'll take the Official GMAT, etc.).

About 1.5 months ago, you posted that you had scored 580 on your initial practice CAT and that your Score Goal was 700+. You have not provided much information about how you've been studying since then though, so before I can offer you any advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) What study materials have you used so far?
2) Have you taken any additional practice CATs/mocks? How have you scored on EACH of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

There are just too many unknowns there. As Scott pointed out, you should take a good practice test, preferably one of the official practice tests.

Vakru · Answer

Yes I gave one, I got 580 Score, at that time my GMAT Score figure was 250 something.

Vakru · Answer

I gave that test without much discipline, I was choosing an option in less than a minute, sometime in 30 Sec. But I realised that its about patience and avoiding silly errors.

I Completed few OGs and learnt topics where I fund myself weak like Prob, Coordinate geo, etc. and improved the method of attempting the question.

I have taken only one CAT, Q-48 V-23 that was 580, I will be attempting one in this week.

Am looking for PhD program in Management(Finance) for Aug 2020 batch.

EMPOWERgmatRichC · Answer

Hi Vakru,

The PhD application process tends to be a bit more 'rigorous' than the MBA application process is - since there tends to be a small group of highly qualified applicants competing for a relatively small number of PhD 'slots.' As such, beyond having a strong GMAT Score, you'll need a strong OVERALL profile and you'll need to properly 'market yourself' to each individual Program that you apply to. By extension, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/

Once you have taken your next CAT, you should post back here with the results (you can also feel free to PM me directly).

1) What are the exact application deadlines for the PhD Programs that you plan to apply to?
2) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?

Hi Mck2023,

Since you're asking about the GMATClub Tests, it would make sense to reach out to a GMATClub employee to address this issue (maybe bb or Bunuel, for example).
